DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] To further illustrate, embodiments detailing a glass atomizer are
described below.
It should be noted that the following embodiments are intended to describe and
not to
limit the disclosure.
[0020] As shown in FIGS. 1-5, the disclosure provides a glass atomizer
comprising a
mouthpiece 1, a seal ring 2, a seal plug 3, an outer glass tube 4, an inner
glass tube 5, a
seal gasket 6, a ceramic heating core 7, a silicone fixed part 8, a base 9, a
joint 10, and an
insulation ring 11. The silicone fixed part 8 comprises a recess 14. The base
9 comprises
an air hole 12. The outer glass tube 4 comprises an air inlet 13. The inner
glass tube 5 is
disposed in the outer glass tube 4. The inner glass tube 5 comprises a top
end. The outer
edge of the top end comprises a plurality of grooves 15. The top end is
integrated with the
3
Date Recue/Date Received 2021-05-21

inner wall of the outer glass tube 4. The seal gasket 6 comprises a hollow
center and is
disposed around the ceramic heating core 7. One end of the ceramic heating
core 7 is
embedded in the bottom opening of the inner glass tube 5. The bottom end of
the inner
glass tube 5 abuts against the seal gasket 6 or the seal gasket 6 is disposed
around the
bottom end of the inner glass tube 5. The ceramic heating core 7 is disposed
on the
silicone fixed part 8. The silicone fixed part 8 is disposed in the base 9.
The bottom end
of the outer glass tube 4 is disposed around the base 9. The insulation ring
11 is disposed
in the bottom of the base 9 to separate the positive lead from the negative
lead of the
ceramic heating core 7 and meanwhile fix the negative lead. The joint 10 is
disposed in
the insulation ring 11 to fix the positive lead of the ceramic heating core 7.
The seal plug
3 is disposed on the top of the inner glass tube 5 and is configured to seal
the top opening
of the inner glass tube 5 after the inner glass tube 5 is filled with e-
liquid. The seal ring 2
is disposed around the mouthpiece 1 to seal the gap between the mouthpiece 1
and the
outer glass tube 4 thus preventing the leakage of the air and the vapor. The
mouthpiece 1
is disposed on the top of the outer glass tube 4.
[0021] When injected into the inner glass tube 5, the e-liquid penetrates into
the surface
of the ceramic heating core 7, and no drops are formed on the surface of the
ceramic
heating core 7 and no drops leak into between the inner glass tube 5 and the
outer glass
tube 4. The air enters the atomizer via the air inlet 13 of the outer glass
tube 4, flows
through the air hole 12 on the base 9 and the recess 14 on the silicone fixed
part 8, drives
the vapor produced by the ceramic heating core 7 to pass through the space
between the
inner glass tube 5 and the outer glass tube 4, and is discharged from the
plurality of
grooves 15 of the top end of the inner glass tube 5 for user's inhaling via
the mouthpiece
1.
[0022] In the disclosure, the grooves 15 and the recess 14 are configured for
air
ventilation and can present in different forms. For example, the grooves are
disposed on
the inner edge of the top end of the inner glass tube 5, or the grooves are
replaced by
through holes, etc. The grooves 15 of the inner glass tube 5 are not
necessarily on the top
end of the inner glass tube 5, but may be on the middle part of the inner
glass tube. The
4
Date Recue/Date Received 2021-05-21

top of the inner glass tube 5 and the top of the outer glass tube 4 may be
flush, and the
mouthpiece 1 is disposed on the top of the outer glass tube 4. The material of
the outer
glass tube 4 and the inner glass tube 5 can also be replaced by the same
material selected
from toughened glass, high temperature resistant poly-cyclohexylenedimethylene

terephthalate glycol (PCTG), high temperature resistant resin, high
temperature resistant
acrylic, an explosion-proof film, or a combination thereof
[0023] The following advantages are associated with the glass atomizer of the
disclosure:
[0024] 1. The glass atomizer comprises an outer glass tube and an inner glass
tube, and
the vapor produced by the ceramic heating core passes through the space
between the
inner glass tube 5 and the outer glass tube 4. This simplifies the member for
vapor
discharge of the atomizer.
[0025] 2. The ceramic heating core 7 is in the shape of a concave bowl, and
comprises a
protruding edge, a bottom, and a heating wire disposed on the bottom, which is
novel.
[0026] 3. The e-liquid is directly injected into the atomizer via the top
opening of the
inner glass tube, which is easy to operate.
[0027] 4. The air enters the atomizer via the air inlet of the outer glass
tube, flows
through the air hole on the base. The design is novel.
[0028] It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that changes and
modifications may
be made, and therefore, the aim in the appended claims is to cover all such
changes and
modifications.
